constipation

[julia_ference]

FTM and I cannot go for the life of me,  I've tried everything fiber, walking, exercising,  fresh fruits, greens and nothing is working. Are there any wives tales or secret remedy you veteran mothers would know. I'm so miserable, my lower back is killing me and I'm afraid to push for fear of hemorrhoids :( please help! Thank you

Ps sorry for the TMI

How far along are you? Are you taking any medication for nausea because Zofran and reglan cause super constipation. I was so happy and relieved when my nausea went away.

I take Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium every night before bed. It helps me sleep and keeps me regular.  It's natural and safe.  I order it off amazon.  It's a life saver.

Lol loving all of this second time mom, first time having any symptoms and I literally have ever. Single. Symptom. Including this one... I was able to go a little this morning but still backed up. If you call your doctor and tell them they can call it in to your pharmacy, they did that for my nausea meds.

Try lemon with water and there's this fruit called papaya may sound weird but it wrks and safe.  Go to heb or walmart and buy one and thn go home and cut it up in peaces and add honey,  nuts and u will love it and it wrks it may take time but  it wrks.  Ow yea

I drink honeydew milk smoothie from a Vietnamese shop, also the Turkey chili beans... so good with chips.. that helps me.. and sitting only the toilet barely pushing, but leaning to one side at a time.. I don't know what it does.. but It relieved me alot almost everytime.

A morning cup of coffee with cream does the trick for me. But no more than two cups per day. Good luck

Yep, im taking stool softeners as well because of iron supplements but if you dont have a prescription, be sure to ask which ones are safe during pregnancy as not all are.

[csections]

Go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist what stool softeners are safe during pregnancy they have them that's what i did when i had to take iron supplements because they make you very constipated

I swear by prune juice. It's the only thing that worked for me.

[julia_ference]

Is there an OTC alternative? I dunno if I can last another week til the doctors, anything fast acting?

[ashbabyno2]

The doctor can presribe you lactulose. Was only thung that helped me. And perfectly safe :)

[kelloges]
